Real World Design Challenge
Sign up now for the Real World Design Challenge. It is an annual
aviation design competition for teams of 3-7 high school students. The
Challenge is FREE for students and teachers. And each teacher that
signs up a team will receive $1 million in professional engineering
software as well as access to mentors from industry, government, and
academia.
The Real World Design Challenge will create many opportunities for your
students. Every state champion team receives an all-expenses-paid trip
to Washington, DC. Students have earned paid internships through their
participation. And last year's National Champions got to present their
work to President Obama at the White House.
Sign up today and take advantage of our summer teacher training. You
can sign up as many teams as you want, and if you are not sure which
students will participate, don't worry you can change the team members
between now and the beginning of the competition.
Just go to www.realworlddesignchallenge.org and click the link to
register a team.
